One of former President Donald Trump’s most vocal critics, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), is joining his battle against what it described as a federal judge’s “vague” and “impermissibly broad” order restricting his speech.

Anthony D. Romero, executive director of the ACLU, said in an Oct. 25 statement that “no modern-day president did more damage to civil liberties and civil rights than President Trump, but if we allow his free speech rights to be abridged, we know that other unpopular voices—even ones we agree with—will also be silenced.”
